That is incredible! I'm most impressed by the fact that you had giant cojones to go outside at night with just a piece of wood!! That is hard core!! I go running every morning at a lake near my house. I don't like attention, so I go early while it's still dark....I carry a taser that blows out 650,000 volts and my phone, and I can run pretty fast. But, every morning, I sit there in the truck for a few minutes. It's really dark, the lake supposedly has alligators in it, and I don't want to have to try and jump one on the path, there are huge, really huge snapping turtles that have bad tempers, and big ducks, big ducks and swans who are ok once they recognize and get used to you, but they are still cranky if you wake them up. They all sleep right on the path, and so does the occasional drunk, after a Saturday night bender...I'm scared every single day....I never get used to the feeling that someday, a giant werewolf is going to come out of the foliage. A few have been seen outside our town, according to some commenters. I always think of the worst....

You and my husband would get along! He feels the same, and thinks there is plenty to worry about without tossing in creatures no one has proved exist...San Antonio used to be thought to be gator free, even though in the 20s and 30s they had an "alligator garden". You can find old photos of kids perched on gator backs (I don't get it, honestly, but it was a big deal then). Anyway, alligators have shown up in the San Antonio River, which winds through downtown...and people have dumped their pet ones into local streams and creeks when they get bored with them, so there now seems to be a healthy population. What really threw me was seeing a mountain lion in our neighbors yard 2 years ago. We are close to Downtown, and this is a big city! But, like the coyotes in the Los Angeles hills, they have adapted to checking out garbage cans for easy pickings...we have a ranch in the Hill Country, and there are several exotic game ranches around, and life really does find a way, just like in Jurrasic park. Big games always gets out...

I was stalked off and on for 30 years by someone who had held a loaded gun to my head, and said that someday, "I'd pay". I never particularly got over it, but it made me tough, as, nails. I became a serious warrior and got to the point where I was happy to face off with him if he ever showed up. But, he died, thank goodness...I was so happy to see his obituary, and now I am super woman, at least to myself. I'm glad I didn't let him control my life in any way except being strong and ready no matter what, which I'm happy about now. I've faced off with people since and have been told I'm terrifying, so I'm ok with that. I wish I hadn't been scarred at only 20, but, the experience helped me become strong, and help others...
